Not sure about the case cutting for the 3TM mod board, but the tranny can be mounted on the rear of the unit. And even then, the tranny upgrade is optional but apparently sounds amazing in conjunction with it.

My advice is buy a MP1 NOT the MP2, the shittiest preamp on the planet, I had it and sold it, I wondered why I ever bought it.

working on the clips now
it was a two for one deal, one of them won't boot up
it just needs to be recapped.
I must say, I had forgotten how good they sound

Can't wait to hear 'em X - and to give this a bump, does anyone have any experience with ADA power amps, specifically the Microtube series? There's a microtube 100 on ebay right now that looks pretty sweet (I'm questing for a power amp at the moment), and the guy says it's a hybrid between tubes (12AX7's I assume, maybe even smaller) and MosFET's, which seems like a winning combo, since MosFET's are what make everyone cream themselves over the Mosvalve (which I haven't given up on, in fact I'm the winning bidder on one, but I'm just keeping my options open!)
Any thoughts?

had some tech diffs this weekend
the microtube is a good piece
I am really digging the MP1, not to tease metaltastic, but it is pretty metalastic

Haha, I look forward to hearing it man, and hey, that's definitely an adjective I'm quite fond of!
I used one for years in the early 90's on a cover gig.. A couple years ago I bought a brand new one in the box NOS.
Didn't love the sound back in the day and sold the NOS one ( and made a great profit).. I think any small modeling preamp will sound much better than an ada....to get any type of solid lowend out of it required many bands of graphic eq....real tiny sounding , dated preamp IMHO

ok, here's a quick clip
http://www.allcapsrecording.com/media/ada_mp1.wav
my observation is that it's a pretty versatile little beast
IMO this clip is too boomy, to gainy, too sloppy and too slow, but hey I promised a clip and here it is. :Smug:
None of that implies there's anything wrong with the ada that's just me :]
I'll reamp something through it eventually and update if anybody's interested.

Great sound! Damn. Now you're making me even more sad that I lost my MP-1. 
I always loved that thing more than my Triaxis or GP-1000.
